Re: aftermarket sheet metal
We sell usa made patch panels. the door skins are only 21 inches high and the bedsides are two piece skins only to weld together or we can weld together for customers

Re: aftermarket sheet metal
Did you not like the Key Parts door skins? They are a couple different bedsides on the market and I do like one better than the other.

Re: aftermarket sheet metal
I bought a set of door skins from a aftermarket place, they were key parts and they fit really bad, the body lines from door to cowl didn't line up.

Re: aftermarket sheet metal
I hate to hear that. Since I have been working for them this is the first complaint I have heard on the Door skins.

Re: aftermarket sheet metal
I bought tri-plus fenders, doors and tailgate. If I would have know I would have paid more for OEM.

Re: aftermarket sheet metal
Yes have full skins and lower skins both. Now the complete doors by Tri-Plus is a different story

Re: aftermarket sheet metal
No offense but if body work was easy then it would not be called work and everybody would do it them selfs not needing body shops. just like my brother in law cannot hang a fender but he can build a house and I cannot build a house but I can hang a fender. Everybody in life has different skill sets. Thanks Tim

Re: aftermarket sheet metal
I have a set of Triplus doors and two of their frenders. Nowhere near bolt ons. I see them more as junk. I call them my stupid tax. Went and found better used factory parts to use.

Re: aftermarket sheet metal
Jeez... nothing is gonna be a direct bolt on. I've even used "factory" parts and NOS stuff for 67-72 trucks and for GM A-bodies. Nothing is a direct bolt on or spot perfect weld on without a little massaging and work to get them to fit.
With one exception. My cousin had a '66 Chevelle way back when, and found an NOS SS hood for it. It fit perfectly. Didn't even have to mess with the hood latch. Gary

Re: aftermarket sheet metal
partsman3 I agree on the doors but the fenders I have used a lot with no problems don't get me wrong we do get bad fenders every now and then but is really rare when we do.
